Analog Signal

Analog Signal

A continuous, electrical wave containing data. The magnitude of the signal corresponds to the amount of data contained in it. An analog signal is one of two ways to change raw data into an electrical wave. See also: Digital system.

In addition, since analog data stored in a ferroelectric memristor is maintained even when the power supply is cut off, the power can be cut when the ferroelectric memristor is not in use, leading to further reductions in power consumption.

The gist of the argument is that, amid all the proliferation of data of all kinds from many sources, the analog data from instruments measuring the physical world - the environment, nature, people, machines--is going to be the biggest of all, partly because in many cases it's continuous measurement.
